The Mercury Theatre in Colchester, with the Jumbo Water Tower in the background

About

Take a backstage tour of one of the leading theatres in Britain, originally built in 1972 and recently given a multi-million pound refurbishment. 

Your guide will take you on a journey through our amazing spaces including the rehearsal room, wardrobe and workshop. We aim for our tours to last one hour.

Make the most of your theatre tour by ending with a delicious afternoon tea and bubbles in the café bar.

Our tours are very popular and fill up quickly. If you would like to arrange a private or group tour just for you, please get in touch here.
